STARTLXQT(1) LXQt session management STARTLXQT(1)
NAME
startlxqt - script to initialize and launch LXQt sessions
SYNOPSIS
startlxqt
DESCRIPTION
startlxqt is a shell script meant to initialize and launch LXQt ses-
sions. It is as such similar to counterparts of other desktop environ-
ments like startlxde in LXDE or startkde in KDE.
It's main tasks are exporting environment variables, partly after per-
forming corresponding checks, and launching lxqt-session, the LXQt ses-
sion manager.
It is not meant to be run by users. Rather, it is invoked as backend,
e. g. by script startx on virtual terminals or display managers like
SDDM or LightDM, see section EXAMPLE.
FILES
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/xsessions/lxqt.desktop
Desktop entry file stating startlxqt as binary needed to start
LXQt sessions. Sourced e. g. by display managers.
BUGS
None at the time of this writing. Bugs can be reported on
https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues.
EXAMPLE
To start an LXQt session from a virtual terminal (virtual console) add
a line
exec startlxqt
to file ~/.xinitrc. An LXQt session will then be launched by running
startx.
Display managers are making use of scripts like startlxqt automati-
cally. Information about available desktop environments is provided by
files $XDG_DATA_DIRS/xsessions/*.desktop, typically /usr/share/xes-
sions/*.desktop.
File lxqt.desktop provided by LXQt is stating startlxqt in key Exec
while making sure the session manager lxqt-session does exist by stat-
ing it in key TryExec.
